I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes. I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment. I am also a freelance writer/editor. I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage. I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008. I am writing my first novel. I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web. And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

  2. Great shot …. I like the fact that this is a black and white image, and you captured those little ‘harsh’ waves. I feel like theres a story behind that picture… shallow, deep, mysterious story. Good job!

  5. Hi Angelia – love that you find it so intriguing. HDR processing – truthfully I am not sure I even quite understand HDR even though I have read a few tutorials – sounds extremely complicated. No – it was just a photo I took today as I headed out on a morning’s fishing trip…the place is so beatuiful the photo kind of took itself.

  14. It looks a bit chilly for a Skinny Dip Jo so I hope
    that you were just taking the pictures and not braving
    the sea on that day my wickedly fine friend? 🙂 😉

    Have a lovely rest of holidays
    and a very wicked start to 2012 🙂

  16. I love photography. I also love to write. So that’s two things we have in common. Thanks for taking a look at my work. It really means a lot to me. I look forward to getting to know you better via your blog. I really like this photograph. It mirrors my own mood right now; that is, I am entering a period of reflection. The endless water in your photograph, with the poles hidden under the waves reminds me that there are things I probably need to focus on, but it’s hard to be objective about oneself. Best wishes to you, Russell

    1. I love your work Russell – it speaks !!! I seem to have been in a period of reflection for the longest time…maybe I need to step out of it eventually and just be…

  23. Sometimes the hardest part in capturing beauty is to first recognize it. Great job at recognizing beauty and then capturing it so well! Happy Holidays Jo!

  24. Capturing the darkness…and intimidating…side of nature is as beautiful as its lighter, effervescent, more pleasing presentation. Not all of us think to snap a photo of such grayness…glad you thought to do so…it makes one think.

    holiday hugs to a dear friend…hugmamma. 🙂

      1. Thanks for your good wishes and yes, all is going very well – even been to the pub today 😀 for lunch. Luckily I received a Kindle for Christmas off my son which has meant I was finally able to download The Gaia Wars – sure Ken will be pleased to know that. How was your Christmas (not that it’s over yet..)? Perhaps tell us all in a blog.

        1. Lucky girl – though I will not complain. Got me a set of Egyptian cotton towels with a threadcount in the thousands – I may NEVER get dressed again…hehe (scary thought) !!!! And an external hardrive was another great gift – now I can save all those photos at least.
          🙂
